This dog knows infants. He know that if you remove a toy from a baby, payback will be swift and brutal: first a whimper, then a sob, then a cry, then a scream, and so on until you officially feel like the worst thing on Earth. So when this dog removed a toy from a

Let’s be honest: You always knew there was something just a little … spooky about your Pug, didn’t you? It’s something about those deep, black eyes. They’re adorable, yes, but there’s something else, something that’s looking back at you with perhaps just a little more knowledge and understanding than you expect from your dog. You

It takes a special kind of person to see the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey and think, “Dogs!” But that’s what Annie and Buddy’s owner thought, and before anybody could stop her, she’d redone the slick, slightly embarrassing trailer into her own version, which contained no dashing Jamie Dornan, no smoldering Dakota Johnson, no

When The Beatles sing it’s been “A Hard Day’s Night” because they’ve been “working like a dog,” the implication — according to the song — is that dogs work very hard. While some dogs might work very hard, most of the dogs I know are freeloading mutts who spend their days lying around and farting,

Sunday is National Lazy Day. If you are reading this while sacked out on the couch, that’s the spirit. Get a jump on the national day of doing nothing, which has nowhere near the attention of some of our larger holidays, because, man, that sounds like a lot of work. We ask you to cast

Every year in the weeks before Burning Man, people constantly call the office and stop us on the street and interrupt us at lunch and ask, “Can I bring my dog to Burning Man?” You’re crazy, we say. Leave us alone. But they persist, telling us all the reasons their dog wants to go to

Tomorrow (Sept. 6) is Fight Procrastination Day, and in a effort to help you be a better you and achieve all you want to achieve, we asked a dog for tips to help fight procrastination and get your life in order. He really came through. 1. Get physically fit! Today it’s time to hit the

Okay, confession: When my family would go to Disneyland (and we lived in Southern California so we went like, every year) my sister was always stoked on going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. And me? That ride scared the crap out of me. So everyone would go on the ride and my poor

Voting is now closed! Please keep a look out for our voting post! As soon as September was over (and actually even a couple of days before it was over), retailers were rolling out their seasonal offerings: Bags of mini candy, Halloween makeup accessories (I’ll be buying all those false eyelashes at a steep discount

Border Collies are built to herd, but it takes a special type of person to wonder exactly what Border Collies are built to herd. Sheep, sure. But ducks? What about ducks? Can a Border Collie herd ducks? That’s the million dollar question, one which Petcentric’s “Will It Herd?” YouTube series attempts to answer in the

Like a nutmeg-scented blob assimilating the grocery store aisle by aisle, Pumpkin Spice has infiltrated our soap, our booze and even our breakfast cereals. When it was done with the humans, it came for the canines, oozing out of the grocery store and into the pet food shops. Dog cookies, dog cologne and even dog

Back-to-school season isn’t just a bummer for all the parents waiting 10 deep in the line at Target, it’s also tough on dogs who feel left out. If your pup is pleading for a backpack of his own, take a minute to remind him of all the reasons why he truly is too cool for

We were surprised to learn that a lot of people on the Internet search for “Blue Heeler,” which is actually just another name for the Australian Cattle Dog. We wondered whether those people thought they were looking for a separate breed or if they knew they could have also searched for “Australian Cattle Dog.” Then

December 26 is known as National Whiners’ Day, and for good reason: I didn’t get a car! All I wanted was a car! Is it so hard to give someone a car for Christmas? Our pets are no exception. They have the glums today as well; their whiny howls echo through darkened living rooms. We
